Cobra U10-14 players came to the SSB Community Day on Saturday Apri 6th to celebrate the start of Spring basketball season.

On January 27th and 28th, 2024, the inaugural Snowball Classic featuring grade 6/7 teams from elementary schools in Vancouver and Richmond, culminated in a thrilling championship game. The McBride Eagles etched their name in history with a hard-fought victory, capturing the hearts of spectators in BC’s best sporting facility, the Richmond Oval.

Happy Holidays from all of us here at Split Second! We hope everyone has a wonderful holiday and are looking forward to some well deserved time off these upcoming weeks! For all those sticking around Vancouver this holiday season we'd like to invite you to our Cobra Holiday Basketball Festival on Saturday December 23rd at VTT.

Watch our 2023 Grads talk about their experience playing for the Cobras.

Here are some of the highlight shots from Fall 2023 Cobra Community Day! Thanks Josh Bowie for the wonderful shots and to all our Cobra families for creating such a fantastic and fun community.

Get access to the SSB resources for Post Secondary recruiting…and hear directly from Euroleague coach Raoul Korner on what good coaches are looking for during the recruitment process.

Having been around professional and youth basketball for over 30 years in Europe, I can tell that there are some significant differences to the Canadian (North American) system of youth development. This makes it difficult and interesting at the same time to compare these two systems.

It can be challenging learning to balance club and school basketball. This article helps players and parents know how to balance any conflicts to get the most out of their time playing for the Cobras and their high schools.

Coaching Development is one of the most important…and most under appreciated elements of running a successful basketball club. Watch below to hear Tobias from Athlete Era interview Split Second founder Eric Butler about his thoughts on how to help coaches develop into the best versions of themselves.

It has never been more difficult than it is now for young athletes to graduate from high school and secure a spot at the post secondary level right away.

The Immersion Program is a collaboration between the Oval High Performance coaches, Split Second Basketball and local schools that allows dedicated athletes to take their core academic courses in the mornings and do serious training on weekday afternoons at the Oval.

Our Information Session on January 25th at 7pm is a great way to learn more about the program and whether it is a good fit for you.

A huge thank you to everybody who made 2022 such a great year for our basketball community!

While the year started with a lot of uncertainty last January, we were really happy with the way things progressed and the growth our players showed. We had several thousand aspiring young athletes play in hundreds of games….both full court and 3x3….train for hundreds of hours throughout the year in practices, player development sessions, private training, classes and camps.

With a Pro D Day on Friday, our boys were able to get 4 fantastic action packed days in Ontario and Quebec while only missing one day of school. Although this may sound like a small detail, it’s also an important one for a group of serious students who are all steadily working on GPA’s which will get them into their schools of choice.

A late Wednesday afternoon flight…

Calling the Split Second community to come out to War Memorial Gym on October 28th to watch the UBC Thunderbirds and cheer on Cobra coach Luka Lizdek as he battles the SFU Red Leafs in the Buchanan Cup.

It was great to see so many players (and parents) out yesterday at the Post Secondary Prep Session to learn the INS and OUTS of what it takes to play at the next level. It was a special opportunity for young athletes to hear the stories of how each of the panelists navigated their own path…and how different each of these journeys really were. The stories ranged from Walk-On to Full Ride Scholarship offer and from Prep School, CCAA to Division 1 recruit.
